All credit to the grounds staff who have kept the cemetery so tidy.
On 21 October 1939 the Orsa (Master Alexander Simpson) struck a mine laid on 5 September by U-15 and sank about 15 miles from Flamborough Head. The master and 15 crew members were lost.
Four crew members were picked up by HMS Woolston and landed at Rosyth.
